                D    Em 
Once I tried to row 
           G              C    D  G 
'Cause you know I hate to fly 
               D             Em 
So I set out from the coast 
                        C     D  Em 
But got battered by the tide 
                    A 
As I glided back to shore 
                  D 
I raised an angry oar 
    C                  G     D  G 
And cursed that blue divide 


            D            Em 
As if it weren't enough 
            G               C      D    G 
To still be stranded on the wrong side 
           D            Em 
I landed in the surf 
                     C      D    Em 
When a breaker hit my blind side 
                        A 
And when my clothes had dried 
                   D 
I hung my head and cried 
  C                G      Bm 
Beside that blue divide 


                    C             Bm 
'Cause all that time I thought 
              C            Bm 
That you and I were lost 
                   C 
A toss, long fallen wide 
       D       G      D C 
In that blue divide 
            D       G      D C   D  G 
That endless blue divide 


                   D            Em 
So I climbed up o___n a dune 
             G          C      D   G 
And found Marconi with his radio 
                  D            Em 
He was looking kind of blue 
                       C        D    Em 
'Cause his antenna rusted long ago 
                   A 
And sitting on the cliff 
                   D 
We shared a handkerchief 
    C             G      Em 
Above that blue divide 
                  A 
I waved it in the hope 
                     D 
That you owned a telescope 
           C                  G      Bm 
That could pierce that blue divide 


               C            Bm 
I thought I was marooned  
                           C         Bm 
'Til I caught sight of your balloon___ 
               C 
Rising with the moon 
           D       G      D C 
Across that blue divide 
            D       G      D C   
That endless blue divide 
           D       G      D C 
Across that blue divide 
            D       G      D C   
That endless blue divide 
           D       G      D C 
Across that blue divide 
            D       G      
That endless blue divide
